According to Egyptian Gazette:

"The Egyptian-German-Austrian archaeological mission working in the tomb of Queen Merneith of the First Dynasty in the Umm El Qaʻāb necropolis of the Early Dynastic Period kings at Abydos, Sohag, has unearthed hundreds of closed jars that had never been opened, in addition to a set of funerary furniture."

Queen Merneith is the first female tomb from the First Dynasty found. Her tomb consists of "41 tombs for her courtiers and servants, which indicates that these tombs were built during different periods."
